BaxtersMom wrote: Aww Thank YOU! I sent them 450 already on the baby but they said they would either use it as a credit or I can use it on purchases from there store. You are abosultely right about alot of things! I just know that in my heart I don't feel right. I sent them an email yesterday about how I was feeling and have NOT heard from them! I know that her husbands mama is sick and all and mines it too BUT that should NOT deter from your business. I hope im not sounding rude BUT you can still UPDATE pictures, respond to emails and COMMUNICATE with someone who has already sent you money. So off I go now to find another breeder BUT one who can communicate and ONE who I will DEFINATELY get referrals from! Thank You Baxtersmom for understanding how I feel (((HUGZ))) Carol

Hi everyone I know that some of you have been following me on the excitment of me getting my bird. I have sent an email to my breeder cancelling the transaction. *big sigh* I know you are saying " Why Carol?" well there have been some reasons and a nagging feeling that I have had in me. 1. I have sent emails off and on for the last few days and I don't get a response unless I call. I figured why should I have to track my breeder down if I am giving them my money? 2. At times when we talk about the bird it drifts off to another conversation about off topic things. Am I being mean? No I don't think so I would like to talk about how is the bird doing? When will he/she be sexed? etc... 3.They were going to send my bird home on ONE feeding at night.I am not experienced to handfed a baby bird. I don't feel comfortable with that at all. 4. I asked will the babies go to the vet and she said "No". 5. I was promised pictures LAST Sat and have not seen any yet. I think the biggest thing for me was that the website was outdated and I probably should have asked for references(sp). I know that life takes it toll and you can't be online 24/7 but my thing is to have COMMUNICATION. Especially with online breeders you have to have a form of communication via email or phone and you need to have a lifetime bond. I purchased my dog online and he is the best thing ever! His breeder was to the point but she always always had updated pictures and answered my questions. I am sorry for being longwinded but sometimes you have to go with your gut feeling and I would rather go with my gut now thn have a heartache later on...:dry: Carol<br><br>Post edited by: Msvoluptous, at: 2009/03/26 02:00

Baxtersmom You have just given me the ummph I needed to buy our baby a Aviator harness :silly: where did you get it from? Do you have the link for the Youtube Video. He looks sooo relaxed and happy in it, what a cutiepie too :0 Carol

judygram wrote: It dosen't? Damn it! lol OMG Miracle has he/she own bag of stuff in the corner in the kitchen. I have ordered a ton of free samples too from the Lafeber company as well as Hagen. Call them as well Lafeber: 1-800-842-6445 I know there is a link on here somewhere BUT they work. The Lafeber company sent me a New baby Package with a FREE Bird Frame for our baby what will they think of next? lmaooo Judy I really need help and I was looking at that baby stroller too *looking away* :whistle: Carol

** WOW I wanted to share this** Look how blessed that baby is and how we are to share the ups and downs of having birds. This was an extrodinary bird who helped save this Baby :cheer: DENVER — A parrot that alerted his owner about a baby who was choking was recognized as a hero by the Red Cross. Willie the parrot was given the Animal Lifesaver Award during the "Breakfast of Champions" event attended by Gov. Bill Ritter and Mayor John Hickenlooper. Willie received the award Friday for his actions in November, when he and owner Megan Howard were baby-sitting a toddler. Willie repeatedly yelled "Mama, baby" when Howard went to the bathroom and the toddler started to choke on her breakfast. Howard saved the baby by performing the Heimlich maneuver but she said Willie "is the real hero." ___ Information from: KCNC-TV, http://www.cbs4denver.com/

Thank You Judy you are the BEST! That's what I was thinking too. You know me always buying stuff for the baby. I just want he/she to be prepared and have the best of everything that I can give them. Just like my human kids if I have it in my power I will do it! Thank You again Carol

I am intrested in buying Miracle the Aviator Harness. Now should I introduce it to him while he/she is still a baby? Or wait a little while? I haven't bought it yet but with summer {Holidays-0002010E} approaching soon it gets hot in our house and I want to take our baby outside to get some cool air. Should I buy it now and when our baby gets home introduce it to he/she? Or wait untill they get older? Thanks everyone Carol

Awww im so happy thatyour baby is doing great!

OMG That is tooooo cute I love it!

I thought that was a cute idea and I love that stroller. I would just be a little bit leary of people maybe stealing the bird :dry: .People will do anything for money in this day and age.

I found my Grey on Birdbreeders.com I asked a gazzilion questions and will be getting my baby in a few months. I am in MA and my breeder is in NC. I am sure that someone will also point you to a good breeder on here as well. There is also Avianweb.com too Good luck and welcome to the forum!

OMG Hmmm something else I need to add! My daughter said "ummmm mom whose gona push that?" lol So now im thinking we need to get one of those too :whistle:
